It is hard to comprehend that Ash Wednesday wasn't just yesterday. The last six weeks flew by and Easter dawns tomorrow. I took the advice of a former pastor and didn't try and give up or promise to do a multitude of things for Lent. He always said that if you can change just one aspect of your life to the good, your Lent was successful. Of course, I tried to put aside a few more minutes for prayer and reflection but prayer, alone, needs the boost of physical change and improvement, too.
Easter is also a major 'turning point' in the year for my son and I as we have been saving and planning for a trip for the last two years . . . and that happens about three weeks from now! I haven't been on a vacation in over 28 years and my son has never been on one other than a day with not having to do schoolwork! My husband is manning the fort while we are gone as he says his 'vacation' is not having to go on one.
